Just shipped my S970 back to Frank at Audio Works and he is shipping A Korg Pa4x to me. I have something to look forward to.
Life is Good, John C.

Wow, I forgot the important part --- Frank is one great guy to deal with. Smooth, accurate and you leave with a smile.

John C.

GOOD FOR YOU, JOHN !!! ... Best of luck with it ...

And yes, Frank is great to deal with ...

Great choice on keyboard and dealer!

After you get it and get comfortable with it...give me a call. I'd love to see it
Eddie

Congrats John

I like my S970 for certain things, but it is not in the same league as the Pa4X. Of coarse the added bonus is that you are back in familiar Korg territory.

Why did I go back to Korg? Because it goes to a greater depth that its competitors. Now that is opinion based on my needs and desires. Yamaha is a great keyboard, and when I heard Eddie perform I knew I would own one. My favorite will always be a Kn7000; I played one for many years. I bought four Kn7000 at different times and sold all four. The Korg is the closest to the Kn7000 with a lot of additional great features.

The purpose of my post is to honor Yamaha owners, one keyboard is only better than the other because of individual taste. There is no put down here. Another reason is my dear friend Eddie, he calls himself a Yamaha man, loves his keyboard. He is firm in his belief, Yamaha, Yamaha. Did you read his post? As soon as I get my Pa4x he is coming over to see and play it. Aaaaaaaah,

Just sharing my excitement, John C.

Ditto he's the best!! Congrats John! You'll be very happy, I know I left a Tyros 5 for the Pa4x and am a very happy camper.

Just one more Pa4 owner wishing you the best with the Korg.
I bought mine from Frank a Audioworks and could not be happier.
Frank is simply the best dealer in the business. He bends over
backwards to please and gives the best service in the business.

The Pa4X has a superior keybed, very smooth and responsive.
I'm another guy who sold my T-5 for the Korg. The case is
metal, very trim and looks great. You will love it. Lloyd

I did a similar thing with the arranger keyboards! Here was my path...

Yamaha PSR-3000
Yamaha Tyros 2
Yamaha PSR-S900
Roland BK-9
Korg Pa900
Yamaha PSR-S970
Korg Pa4X-61

Great expressive sounds... full sequencer... MP3 playback... great build and size. Every keyboard has it's strengths! Do your research and you'll be happy!

There is a guy on the PSR-tutorial forum looking for a used S-970 so I gave him Frank's name. Your old 970 will soon go to a good home.
